Connections today (game #549) - hint #2 - group answers

Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #549) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times)

The answers to today's Connections, game #549, are YELLOW: UTOPIA PARADISE, SEVENTH HEAVEN, SHANGRI-LA, XANADU GREEN: THINGS YOU SHAKE HAIRSPRAY, MAGIC 8 BALL, SALAD DRESSING, SNOWGLOBE BLUE: PROPER NOUN PORTMANTEAUX JAZZERCISE, PARALYMPICS, POKMON, WIKIPEDIA PURPLE: ENDING IN SYNONYMS FOR "FRIEND" KETCHUM, PAYPAL, PRIMATE, ROSEBUD My rating: Hard My score: Fail

I had no idea what KETCHUM was. My first thought was that it was a
portmanteau of Ketchup and erm Chum? This would link it to PARALYMPICS and JAZZERCISE

After striking out I discovered that KETCHUM was plenty of things a grenade-like weapon, a POKMON character, a city in Idaho, a brand of cattle tags, the surname of the doctor who conducted experiments on soldiers with
LSD in the 1960s you could write a book about KETCHUM. This dalliance led me to ignore the far more obvious PROPER NOUN PORTMANTEAUX words WIKIPEDIA and POKMON. And that, my Connections KETCHUMs was the end of me.

The only group I landed today was the easy yellow UTOPIA group. You could say Im a dreamer, but today was my Connections nightmare. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Tuesday, 10 December, game #548) YELLOW: GIVE A TITLE TO CALL, DUB, LABEL, NAME GREEN: PARTS OF A FLIGHT CRUISE, TAKEOFF, TAXI, TOUCHDOWN BLUE: FEEL AROUND (FOR) FISH, FUMBLE, ROOT, RUMMAGE PURPLE: COUNTRIES MINUS FIRST LETTER INLAND, OLIVIA, RAN, WANDA What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green
is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as
you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there
are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

Im a little TEAPOT, SHORT and STOUT, heres my HANDLE, heres my spout, when I get all steamed up, Hear me shout, Tip me over and pour me out!

Yes I did fall for this little red herring although usually these little tricks only contain three words. Naughty.

This blind alley aside, the groups were quite straightforward today, especially if you were a bit parched and dreaming of a refreshing beverage although the distinctive taste of BITTER, BOCK, SOUR and STOUT beers are not everyones cup of tea.

Cheers.

Connections today (game #563) - hint #2 - group answers

What are the answers for today's NYT Connections groups? YELLOW: CELESTIAL OBJECTS GREEN: ARCHERS BLUE: FEMALE ANIMALS PURPLE: "S.N.L." CAST MEMBERS

Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #563) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times)

The answers to today's Connections, game #563, are YELLOW: CELESTIAL OBJECTS COMET, MOON, PLANET, STAR GREEN: ARCHERS CUPID, HAWKEYE, ROBIN HOOD, SAGITTARIUS BLUE: FEMALE ANIMALS JENNY, NANNY, QUEEN, VIXEN PURPLE: "S.N.L." CAST MEMBERS FEY, RUDOLPH, SHANNON, STRONG My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

The stars aligned for me today as I turned groups of three into four.

I knew that the symbol for SAGITTARIUS was a centaur, but i forgot that he
was also holding a bow and arrow apparently it's meant to symbolize how people born under this star sign are decisive and hit the mark every time.

ROBIN HOOD also gives his name to the archery equivalent of a hole-in-one when an archer splits an arrow already in the target with another arrow shot from the same spot. A moment as rare as me getting through Connections
without a mistake.

Merry Christmas everyone. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Tuesday, 24 December, game #562) YELLOW: "LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS, OH MY!"
